Green! Green! Green!

I have been seeing so much green this week!  I wish it was green money...but instead it is St. Patrick's Day fun!  We have been doing activities from my St. Patrick's Day unit and it has been a blast!  You can find the unit by clicking here!  You can also view my previous post that shows some of what is included in the unit.

Here are some pictures of other things we have been doing.  We made a bulletin board telling why we are lucky!  My students came up with such cute reasons!

I have family.

My mommy got a new dog.

I have a older brother.

We also painted rainbows!  Students then had to find a picture in a magazine of something silly that their leprechaun found at the end of the rainbow.  They placed a leprechaun picture on one side of the rainbow and their magazine picture on the other side.  Students wrote about what their leprechaun found.  They shared their writing with the class and of course everyone thought it was hilarious!

The leprechaun found cereal at the end of the rainbow.

The leprechaun found mashed potatoes at the end of the rainbow.

The leprechaun found a fork at the end of the rainbow.

The leprechaun found a lotion at the end of the rainbow.

Also, if you haven't seen the Leprechaun Song on Youtube by Harry Kindergarten, check it out!  We have been using it this week to review counting!  It has such a catchy tune and I love the way it displays the numbers and the quantity too!

Only one more day until Spring Break!!!  

Five For Friday

I am linking up with Doodle Bugs for Five For Friday!

Here are five random things from my week:

We ended up with a total of four snow days!!  (Two the end of last week and two the beginning of this week!  A surprise SIX day weekend!)  This is my three year old trying to walk in the snow!

I made this yummo cake on one of my days off!  The sad part is that having that extra time off I also had more time to eat it!

Today we celebrated Read Across America! My kinders made their own striped hats and had their pictures taken with this fun guy!  Of course he was the talk of the day!  You can also see my rocking chair that I talked about in a previous post.

My oldest son worked on addition with the new addition cards I made him.  He used little hockey pucks (Smarties) as his manipulative.  I guess we should have talked about subtraction as he ate them all gone!  You can get the addition cards here!

My school had a door decorating contest for Read Across America!  All of the doors in the building turned out so cute!  My class did the book I Can Read With My Eyes Shut.  Each student made themselves with their eyes shut and holding a book.  Here is a close up of a couple of them!

 I hope you had a wonderful week!
